Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s growing celebrity makes him one of the few MMA stars who can do the late-night circuit to promote his fighting career. On Thursday night, Jackson appeared on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to discuss his upcoming UFC 123 fight with Lyoto Machida.
A smiling Jackson appeared well at ease joking around with Ferguson, and while the conversation veered to different topics at times, Jackson did get to take a jab at Machida’s style during his appearance. After being asked by Ferguson what he knew about Machida, Jackson laughed.

UFC 123 is headed to Auburn Hills, Michigan.
That’s the word from UFC president Dana White, who told MMA Fighting that the finalization of a deal to bring the Nov. 20 event to The Palace of Auburn Hills in the Detroit suburb closed on Wednesday morning.
Residents of Michigan State, who’ve had more than their fair share of sh—ty news to deal with over the last few years (during this tiresome run of ‘economic uncertainty’), have reason to smile today, as the Detroit Free Press is reporting that UFC 123 is headed to Auburn Hills.

Residents of Michigan State, who’ve had more than their fair share of sh—ty news to deal with over the last few years (during this tiresome run of ‘economic uncertainty’), have reason to smile today, as the Detroit Free Press is reporting that UFC 123 is headed to Auburn Hills. According to the report, the card is “almost certain” to take place November 20th in the Detroit suburb, and will be hosted by the 20,000 seat plus Palace. The report included a comment from Dr. James Weber, chair of the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission (versus armed combat commission….) who stated:
“Detroit deserves this. It is a boxing and MMA town. It would be a great boost to the economy and represents the character, fight and will of the people in this area. It is a dream of mine come true.”
Amen to that. What’s even better for Michigan MMA fans is that the expected headliner for UFC 123 is a light-heavyweight tilt between former champs Lyoto Machida and “Rampage” Jackson. We immediately jumped on board with that bout as soon as it was rumored to be next in line—not only could it be an outstanding fight from a talent / technical perspective, but both Rampage and Lyoto need a win big time.
MMA Junkie has also confirmed the location and date for UFC 123 in a follow up report.
Great weekend at the box office for Sly Stallone’s The Expendables (featuring Randy Couture). It ended up taking #1 at the box office, raking in over $35M.
That blows away the Rampage Jackson ensemble flick, The A-Team, which managed $25.6M in its opener.
Here’s a closer comparison of the two films:

That blows away the Rampage Jackson ensemble flick, The A-Team, which managed $25.6M in its opener.
Here’s a closer comparison of the two films:
| The Expendables | The A-Team | |
| Production Budget | $70M | $110M |
| Opening Weekend Gross | $35M | $26.6M |
| Total Opening Screens | 3,270 | 3,535 |
| Per Screen Opening Avg. | $10,713 | $72,62 |
| Total Domestic Box Office | $35M* | $76.6M |
| Total Global Box Office | $35M** | $158.6M |
| Rotten Tomatoes Rating | 42% | 48% |
So by just about every measurable, Randy Couture and The Expendables wins. Their Rotten Tomatoes ratings are basically a tie, and from there, The Expendables crushes. It opened #1 at the box office (The A-Team debuted #2). It had a smaller production budget, opened on less screens, but earned around $9M more on opening weekend. Given that, “one” could assume it will end up with a higher total domestic gross. Foreign audiences usually eat up American machismo action flicks, so it should do well overseas too.
And while The Expendables is already talking sequel, it doesn’t look as of now like The A-Team will get a second life, so it could be a one-and-done movie making experience for Rampage.
Take a closer look at the numbers on Box Office Mojo.
* Only includes opening weekend.
** Has not opened internationally yet.
